I never consider religion an important aspect of finding partners.

my form of agnosticism is t believe in everything rather than not choosing what to believe in yet. I believe that if one believes in something strongly enough then that is what is true for him or her and the more people that believe in it then the more likely it is to be true- in fact the more true it is. faith is a powerful powerful thing and creation can actually be born from it. so for me any partners beliefs will automatically be respected- though to accept an all knowing all powerful entity as deity i would have to be in agreement that that entity is an amalgamation of all others and they still do exist separately and together. If a partner of mine had a problem with these beliefs, since i feel they are so liberal I would have an issue with it

I am surprised to see how many people don't seem to mind. I I can't date someone to far out of my faith, I feel like we couldn't see eye to eye. Maybe its just me : )

We are both firmly in the "don't give a shit" category. I dated two Jewish guys, and went along with the traditions and such, but it never really meant anything to me. I thought the traditions were fun, but that was all. Fortunately, neither of us ever got so serious that we had to worry about raising kids.

Well, no, not really, but it's not a big deal.

we're both agnostic/atheist. any other partners would need to be of similar ideaology. if they believe in a higher power, cool. but it'd be really hard to mesh if they were super religious or centered their life around a higher power.

It makes for some interesting discussions but we keep it civil for the most part.

we share the same faith. I think that is very important in a relationship because in the future if you want to bring kids into the relationship which religion would you choose?

I feel like our beliefs overlap in some areas, and are exclusive in some other ways. Overall they are probably more similar than dissimilar but they don't match up exactly the same. It's kind of important to me they there is some similarity, I would have a hard time being intimate with someone I couldn't share an intellectual conversation with and that often means talking about spirituality for me.

To answer your question we choose to educate our child in both religions.

My partner and I are both atheists -- sharing a feeling of agnostic atheism is important to me. I can rarely hold a religious person as a friend for any meaningful amount of time, and I honestly don't bother with strongly religious people as partners.

We are both spiritual agnostics, it's somewhat important I guess. I mean, it's more important that we understand why each other believes in what we do, rather than believing in the SAME thing.
